SPCA: 7 dogs, drugs seized from Philly home

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Seven dogs have been removed from a Philadelphia home that investigators say may have been the base of a dogfighting operation.

Pennsylvania SPCA investigator George Bengal says officers arrived at the home in the Germantown section on Tuesday afternoon and removed the dogs. Officials say the dogs were a mix of pit bulls, mastiffs and bulldogs and that one pit bull was bloodied and wounded.

Investigators say they also recovered drugs and a stolen motorcycle and that a fighting ring was found at a home next door.

Bengal said it appears to have been a dogfighting operation, but that officials are investigating.
